Define classic, other than "I played it when I was a kid"

To me a classic would seem to have some sort of intrinsic quality that spans generations.  Sinatra is classic, because everyone from my grandpa to my 22 month old daughter loves him.

If something is old and not unviersally liked, its not a classic, its a novelty or a niche product.

Centipede was fun when I was a kid because it had a trackball, and trackballs are fun to spin.  Its not that great of a game, its a novelty.

I can assure you they spend more than 5 minutes playing Centipede.

Alright then, if we're going to be like this :

adj \ˈkla-sik\
Definition of CLASSIC
1
a : serving as a standard of excellence : of recognized value <classic literary works>
b : TRADITIONAL, ENDURING <classic designs> c : characterized by simple tailored lines in FASHION year after year <a classic suit>
2
: of or relating to the ancient Greeks and Romans or their culture : CLASSICAL
3
a : historically memorable <a classic battle> b : noted because of special literary or historical associations <Paris is the classic refuge of expatriates>


By these definitions, pretty much whatever anybody here thinks a classic is or isn't is true.

Bootay:
Donk & scofthe7seas: Yea, well there you go...no one is right. It is all opinion.  ;D
But "3. a. historically memorable" would go back to "whatever you enjoyed in your youth". Any game you played a lot as a kid would be to you "historically memorable" right?

PBJ: LOL
